What’s Hot on Github – November 2008

What's Hot on Github is a monthly post highlighting interesting projects that are new or updated this month, within the Ruby community that are hosted on Github. Github has become an extremely popular place for Ruby and Rails developers to congregate lately, so I wanted to list some of the new projects, and some of the updated ones, that I have found interesting and that are too small for their own blog post.

I don't understand why folks find Jekyll interesting. Not trying to be a hater here, just genuinely confused.

Most hackers could re-implement it in the time it takes to download it and set it up. I'm all for the idea of super-simple DB-less static content sites, but I don't get the whole, "I'm releasing this as a project so that other people can re-use it" angle.
